House Judiciary Committee

114th Congress (2014 cycle)

The House Judiciary Committee provides oversight of the U.S. legal system. While lawyers tend to make hefty donations to committee members who have jurisdiction over their courtrooms, the business community also weighs in with generous contributions. Business interests care about high-profile issues such as bankruptcy, immigration, and copyright and antitrust law, which are regulated by the Judiciary Committee.
